This week, the gavel has fallen and the auction is over. Andy Warhol's portrait of Michael Jackson sold Tuesday at the Vered Gallery in New York's East Hampton for more than $1 million to an undisclosed buyer.
A luxury car dealership may not be the first place one would expect to find an original Michael Jackson portrait these days, but that is, in fact, where one resides. The artwork, titled The Book and painted in 1990 by Australian artist Brett-Livingstone Strong, is on view at Dancy-Power Automotive Group in Harlem, which announced yesterday that the painting is going up for sale.
